I gotta say Sam Adams Octoberfest is probably one of my favorite beers now. It isn't as bitter as their regular lager, but it still tastes great and is very drinkable. I also really like Summer Ale and Cream Stout. I'm not as big a fan of Cherry Wheat, but to each his own.

Summer Ale is really good and I just had some Cream last week. I got the Brewmasters box. MMMMMM
 
Tried some Harvest Moon while grillin yesterday.

.......yes it's from Blue Moon but I thought it was tasty. Not too strong on the pumpkin and spice taste also not too heavy neither.

I have some Oktoberfest in our fridge and I simply cannot drink it - it's too "wheaty" and heavy. I still haven't developed a taste for beer. The best I can do is Corona and possibly Lion's Head... how long does it take to develop a taste for "better" beers?

Sam Adams Oktoberfest is malty, not wheaty. You sure you drank Otkoberfest?
 
Sam Addams Octoberfest and Summer Ale are the best.

i dont like the Winter or the Cherry Wheat varieties...

 
Oh yeah...I've been drinking the Blue Moon Harvest Blend. Beer with a bit of spice to it. Very drinkable.
 
I have always liked Oktoberfest from Sam Adams, and have been through a case or two since Costco brought them out last month. Obviously every year the beer is a little different, and my tastes change over time, but I do think this beer is a touch too malty for me. Might try one of those IPAs I saw in this thread, yum.
 
I stopped buying beer at Costco over the summer - no matter what I got, it was tasting like it had been stored or transported too warm. Maybe it's safe to give it a try again now that it's cooler.

Widmer anything = Full Sail anything >>>>>>> Sam Adams anything

I'll take a Hefeweizen, Broken Halo or Session any day of the week. Beats the heck out of faux "craft" beers with raspberries or blueberries or whatever in them. Yuck.

</beer snob>

It was $21.....cheap for good beer.

thats an awesome price... I live about 5 miles from the brewery, and its at least $4-5 more expensive at stores near me, and if I remember correctly, the costco price is MAYBE $1-2 more than buying AT the brewery... go costco.
 
I bought a 6 pack of Dundee Oktoberfest (A Marzen style Lager) and the smell is reminiscent of old lunchmeat that has started to go bad. Has anyone ever run into this before? I was even reluctant to mention it because it sounds so goofy.
 
I'm usually a big fan of the seasonal Sam Adams stuff, as well as the Cherry Wheat. Haven't had any of the Oktoberfest yet this year, but I plan on picking some up for the weekend 😎

Sounds like an infected beer to me.

I think Oktoberfest is overrated. My new beer of choice for the fall months is Harvest Moon.

You think Oktoberfest is overrated but like Harvest Moon?

That's a division by zero in the beer world 😉

I love Costco. I was worried it was going taste like crap but it's pretty good. I'm working on #2 right now. I was going get my tried and true Newcastle but got this instead.

I usually have a problem with #1 when I drink alot, but if you're already working up #2, maybe that beer is thicker than I thought! :laugh:

hmmm, tasty.

Have you had Mad Hatter IPA from New Holland? Very malty for an IPA, not as aggressively hopped as the standard.

Good stuff.

Tonight is:

-Sierra: Early Harvest Wet Hop Ale
-Celebration (it's that time of year, folks!)
-maybe some Arrogant Bastard, but then maybe not...

They've release the Celebration Ale?

This is what I was drinking last night, pretty good.
 
I love their summer brew but don't like their regular.

I wonder if I'd like this.

Might have to see if I can find a 6 pack someone to give it a test drive.
